Throughout the entire textile industry chain, more and more enterprises have entered the delivery period, textile people are like a clockwork clock, a production line is running at full power, and everywhere presents a fiery production scene.


Meet the delivery date and start the final sprint of production


Although there are only more than 20 days left from the Spring Festival, the phenomenon of rushing to work is frequent, and "busy" is the "main melody" of the current market. The results of the survey showed some changes in downstream orders and production. One is driven by the continuous rise of sea freight, pre-holiday foreign trade orders have centralized shipment demand, there is a rush behavior; Another is that under the seasonal influence, the production variety has shifted from winter to spring and summer, and some thin fabric orders have increased. The main textile company said, "At present, our factory is full of machinery, orders are domestic and foreign trade, and there is a high probability that the production task can be completed before the festival." In terms of raw materials, we have no plan to stockpile raw materials for the time being, and mainly consume raw materials purchased in the early stage." At the same time, some traders with a long-term vision are also preparing a new round of production plans. A trader revealed, "At this stage, we have received a lot of spring and summer clothing fabric orders, ready to complete some before the festival, hoping to seize the market opportunity." As for the procurement of raw materials, before the festival, these weaving enterprises mainly consume the raw materials purchased in the previous period, and some enterprises maintain a cautiously optimistic attitude toward the market after the festival, and will hoard some raw materials in advance for emergencies.


The gap is small, the textile workers stick to their posts


In terms of the composition of workers, the proportion of migrant workers in local textile enterprises is quite high, and these workers are from the nearby areas of northern Jiangsu and Anhui, and also from Henan, Hubei and other distant areas. During the festival times miss their relatives, migrant workers are "eager to return" to the Spring Festival. 2025 On the arrival of the new calendar year, production-oriented textile enterprises have announced the Spring Festival holiday plan, but there are still some executable orders in the production link, and the early return of workers will be a test for them, which can easily cause production faults and affect the delivery time of orders.


The main spring textile enterprises: "Around the 20th holiday, there is no temporary gap in employment before the holiday, there are workers to return home in advance, but not many."


Main outdoor fabric textile enterprises: "We have a holiday around January 20, there is no temporary employment gap, workers are still on duty."


Main woven fabric textile enterprises: "January 20 holiday, compared with previous years, the employment gap is smaller."


It can be seen that the problem of "labor shortage" in previous years seems to have improved this year, and textile workers are still sticking to their posts. However, as the Spring Festival approaches, the employment problem will become more and more prominent, and enterprises need to prepare in advance. Although most textile factories are still operating normally, a large-scale holiday has entered the countdown. In order to avoid suffering from worker shortage, delivery extension and other problems, we call on downstream customers to order as soon as possible to avoid affecting the normal delivery time.
